Trump's New Campaign Manager and the Poll Tax

RNC HEADQUARTERS, TRUMP TOWER — Donald Trump has a new campaign manager: Kellyanne Conway. She’s worked for Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingrich, and Mike Pence, among others, and is the co-author of
What Women Really Want: How American Women Are Quietly Erasing Political, Racial, Class, and Religious Lines to Change the Way We Live. She founded her own company, The Polling Company.

She’s hard at work already, saying among other things that the odds favor “Mr. Trump” because he is seriously behind in the polls, and "We're the ones who have the issues set in our favor because
at the end of the day, this is 2000. This is 2008 all over again. It's a change election. It's 1992."

She was then rudely interrupted by a solitary reporter, who impertinently said, “You sure you aren't talking about 1922 and not 1992? You say you are an expert pollster, and your candidate
is greatly favored by a certain segment of our white male population —— so does Mr. Trump favor bringing back the poll tax to discourage black folks from voting?”

At this, the solitary reporter was punched by Trump’s thugs, led by Conway’s predecessor, Corey Lewandowski. The solitary reporter’s whereabouts are presently unknown.
